But her protected emotional world is upended when she meets Hispanic artist Maria Ortiz, leader of a fight that's roiling the city. Maria has staked her reputation on saving a historic Spanish chapel from bulldozers clearing the way for a new road. As she falls for the magnetic and uncompromising Maria, Digger has to face old fears stemming from the fatal accident that killed her parents. Colleagues at the newspaper warn Digger she's risking her career by getting involved with a story source. But the newspaper itself is in trouble forcing Digger to ask herself whether she can she hold onto her heart and be true to the story, and is it worth it? Digger and Maria's future, and the fate of the chapel depends on the whims of El Niño, the weather pattern of the naughty child, brings the rains. In the high desert, rain is a two-faced god, bringing life and destruction.
